Description
Cosmos bipinnatus Fizzy 'Pink' is a variety of bipinnate Cosmos from the lovely 'Fizzy' series. It produces large semi-double, tousled, candy pink flowers with a golden centre. This tall cosmos blooms from July until the first frost, and its stems can reach a height of 1m (3ft) or more, sometimes bending under the weight of its flowers, which are adorned with numerous petals. Sow your cosmos in light soil, in full sun, water them, and then let nature take its course. These plants are almost foolproof!
Cosmos Fizzy 'Pink' is derived from an annual species native to Mexico and the extreme south of the United States, Cosmos bipinnatus. This non-hardy annual plant, related to Dahlias, belongs to the Asteraceae family: it features a characteristic inflorescence in the form of a head and particularly fine foliage reminiscent of fennel. This hybrid cosmos quickly forms a clump 1m (3ft) tall, with a width of 50cm (20in). Flowering begins in July, approximately 85 days after sowing, and lasts until early autumn. The heads are composed of candy-pink, pleated petals with a serrated edge. The flower centre consists of a golden disk. Cosmos flowers attract numerous insects and butterflies, including the Monarch butterfly. The foliage is finely divided into thread-like segments, barely 0.5 to 1mm (0in) wide and has a slight, pleasant fragrance. After flowering, the plant produces spindle-shaped, bristly, dark achene seed heads. The seeds can self-sow, but the resulting plants may not necessarily resemble their parent.
Cosmos Fizzy Pink is a trouble-free and rewarding annual plant, which can fill a sunny slope or bed on its own. With its large tousled pink flowers, it is ideal for bringing life to a romantic or country-style garden. Cosmos flowers are perfect for beginners and almost impossible to fail with. They grow quickly and complement perennial salvias, Buenos Aires verbena, and chrysanthemums until the first frost. They are perfect for adding colour to a new garden, mixed with annual poppies, love-in-a-mist, or cornflowers. Its flowers have excellent vase life.

Planting and care
Sow Cosmos seeds from March to May, at a depth of 3mm (0in), in a fine soil and cover the seeds with a very fine pinch of vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a mini greenhouse at a temperature of 18-25°C (64.4-77°F) or wrap it in a polyethylene bag. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Light promotes germination, which occurs 7 to 15 days after sowing.
When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots with a diameter of 7cm (3in). Grow them in cooler conditions until the plants are sufficiently developed to be planted outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise the plants to outdoor conditions for 7 to 10 days. Plant them in full sun, in moist, well-drained soil, spaced 50cm (20in) apart. Pinch the tips of the shoots on each stem, during transplantation, to encourage branching of the stems and the production of many flowers.
Cosmos prefer a soil with a pH between 6 and 8.5, corresponding to the soil of their original habitat, the alkaline regions of Central America. They prefer full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. These plants are drought-tolerant once established and not prone to diseases, but may be targeted by aphids. Spontaneous seedlings are common but not invasive and not always true to type.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
